Daejeon City Expands Support Project to Promote Adoption of Abandoned Animals

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is expanding support projects to promote the adoption of abandoned animals.

On the 13th, the city announced that it will expand support for individual adopters who adopt dogs, cats, and other animals protected at the Daejeon Animal Protection Center and complete embedded animal registration.

The key point is to increase the adoption fee, which was supported up to 150,000 KRW until last year, to up to 250,000 KRW this year, and to expand the number of adopted animals from the previous 360 to 400.

The adoption fee can be used for disease diagnosis and treatment costs, vaccination fees, neutering surgery fees, embedded animal registration fees, pet insurance subscription fees, and other related expenses for animals adopted by individual adopters.

Earlier, since December last year, with the help of Hana Bank and the Korean Red Cross, the city has been providing a gift package worth 50,000 KRW consisting of essential pet supplies such as food, snacks, and pads to citizens who adopt abandoned animals from the Daejeon Animal Protection Center.

Park Ik-gyu, Director of the Agricultural and Life Policy Division of the city, said, “We thank adopters who practice the value of love and respect for life by adopting abandoned animals,” and added, “We will strive to create an atmosphere where citizens who want to raise pets can adopt rather than purchase them.”
